The most cash I've ever carriedThere's nothing like carrying large amounts of cash to make yourself feel simultaneously like a lottery winner and an obvious target.
A friend went to buy a car for ten grand, panicked and stuffed it down his pants for safety. It was all a bit smelly by the time he got there and he had to search around for some of it...
Tell us the story behind the most cash you've ever carried.

A hell of a lot of money...Lots of money here,
Firstly, I supervise the bar I work at so regularly wander round with £5,000 cash, but not even a patch on what I had once.
Work experience at a bank, got told to count out this big pile of notes...
Got to £50,000, thought "yeah, fair bit here"
Got to £250,000, though "hmm, still a bit to go"
Got to just over half a million and thought "Bugger me, I'm just turned 15 and been trusted with all this money, what the fuck happens if a robber comes in?!"
Lots of money in the trolleys I had to move round, sorting out gold and millions of pounds, often wondered how long it would take to discover £10,000 had disappeared, never got round to testing it though.
